Name: Salix geyeriana - Salix monticola / Mesic Forbs Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs on the Western Slope and Front Range of the southern Rocky Mountains and is documented from over 20 locations in Colorado at an elevational range of 2300-3150 m (7700-10,320 feet). Stands occur on broad alluvial floodplains with steep sideslopes. This riparian shrubland has a tall, mixed, deciduous shrub canopy that is codominated by <i>Salix geyeriana</i> and <i>Salix monticola</i> with an understory altered by livestock grazing. The herbaceous layer consists of dense grasses and forbs on a hummocky ground surface. Season-long grazing has increased the non-native grass component of this association. Stands with their native herbaceous undergrowth intact are extremely rare.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32532.CEGL001223 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
